All, Running Fedora 16 on my Thinkpad Edge 13" and things have been working very well for a year or so. Sometime in the past month some type of package update has stop almost all of the special function keys to stop working. I have tried downgrades of the kernel to try and work out at what point things stopped, but without success. The next thing I have tried is loading the thinkpad_acpi with debugging enabled - the messages are included below. Am now at a loss as to what else I can do to debug this issue. The media play (Fn+F11) and 'forward' (Fn+F12) keys at least send events through, all the others do nothing. In addition closing the lid no longer suspends the machine, and the power applet in Fedora 16 no longer reports whether the battery is running off mains or is discharging. What can be done to see why the keys are not reporting anything? All problems started at the same time so I think it is all related to a single change. Happy to provide whatever additional details might be useful to help diagnosing what is going on.
